Assess The Acute Physiology And Chronic Health Evaluation Iv Score In Predicting Hospital Mortality Rate Among Critically Ill Patients In Intensive Care Unit At Saveetha Medical College And Hospital Thandalam

Abstract

ABSTRACT newlineINTRODUCTION: newlineClinical evaluation is an important part of medical practice in which it newlinepredicts the prognosis of patients admitted to Intensive Care Units (ICUs). newlineInformation on the characteristics of the clinical condition can help in the newlinedefinition of strategies, outlining plans for improving care, helping to prevent newlinecomplications and achieving better quality indicators. Mortality prediction of newlinehospitalized patients is an important problem. Over the past few decades, newlineseveral severity scoring systems and machine learning mortality prediction newlinemodels have been developed for predicting hospital mortality. newlineSTATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM newlineAssess the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation IV newline(APACHE IV) score in predicting hospital mortality rate among critically ill newlinepatients in intensive care unit at Saveetha medical college and hospital, newlineThandalam. newlineOBJECTIVES: newline1. To assess the level of Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation newline(APACHE) IV score among critically ill patients admitted in intensive newlinecare unit. newline2. To assess the mortality rate among critically ill patients in intensive newlinecare unit. newline3. To associate the level of APACHE IV score with the selected newlinedemographic variables among critically ill patients. newline
